Ticked off! @ casual diners

I'm ticked off at restaurant patrons who are allowed to wear flip-flops while dining. Hey, low-life idiots, cover your nasty-looking, dirty and smelly feet with socks and shoes.

Just because certain people choose not to decorate for the holidays doesn't mean they're "Scrooges." Maybe they choose not to celebrate. Or maybe they just don't have the money for it. Mind your own business!

What is in the psyches of motorists that drive without lights at dusk, dawn, and in rain storms? Is it to be different, or a rebellious streak? Come on, folks. Turn on your lights! It's a dangerous game you're playing!

I'm ticked off at a cruise line. I went on a cruise that was booked in June. The cruise sailed knowing there was a hurricane, and I did not get what I paid for. The boat was unbearable to walk around from the rough waters and I have cruised many times before and been fine.

The flip side

Many thanks to the person or organization who presented my husband, a resident at a Veterans Administration Community Living Center, with a very pretty homemade quilt. Also thanks to the other organizations that present our veterans with heart-warming cards and usable gifts and to the entire staff at the VA facility for your excellent care of our veterans. It is deeply appreciated.

A special thank you to the thoughtful couple who unexpectedly paid for lunch for ten very surprised, yet gracious ladies.
